Drifting on The Tide

16 Jun Drifting on The Tide

Twenty four hours before the full moon at the southern end of Cayo Costa, I shut the engine off and drifted with the tide. I watched frigate birds dogfight, sea turtles breath, blue crabs drift, jellyfish do what they do and puffer fish puff. Twenty four hours before the full moon at the southern end of Cayo Costa.

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.
